As
loyal subscribers, we looked forward to reading about the exploits of
prominent people who should have conducted themselves in a more
seemly fashion. By far, Frank was one of the best sources of
entertainment in Canada. While some critics contended that the rag
was scurrilous and fed off the peccadillos of vulnerable individuals,
the real value of the magazine, in my opinion, was that it provided a portal for “taking the pulse” of the Canadian community – the
rough and tumble of “real life” as opposed to the kaleidoscope of
mirages projected by image consultants.
Recently,
I came across a very interesting blog penned by the staff of
Wellington Financial LP.
Check
out the entry for January 16, 2014 – a rather devastating
commentary on the financial acumen of one prominent personality
within the stable of financial commentators on CBC TV, and more
lately, CNBC. I cringe at his attitude and his delivery. I much
prefer thoughtful, considered commentary and above all, a capacity to
recognize that one can be wrong. That January 16 entry alone incented
me to subscribe to this blog. Wonderful! Highly recommended. Least
you think that if focuses solely on the negatives, note that it
delivers kudos as readily as it does brick bats.
In
case your appetite for more commentary on the above-noted individual
is not satiated, click on the following link:

I
may revert to taking a morning coffee along with my flakes in order
to make more time to savour this wonderful blog in addition to our
local newspapers.
